How to know High Crime Rate or Housing Commission location ?

[JohnHenry]

People,

As a rule of thumb to ensure Capital Gain and attracting prospective tenant, I'm trying to avoid areas with high crime rate and housing commission.

How can we know the housing commission lcoation in a suburb without going to drive around or ask the local people ?

and what about area with high crime rate ?

Thanks.

You'll need a paid RP Data or Pricefinder subscription for this, or a friendly agent.

Hi John,

Best way is to call up the local council of each area you are looking in... some councils may help but some may not... RP data is a good tool...

As for Crime rate.. just research on the old google.

I would be interested in knowing where that can be found on Pricefinder? Can't seem to find any menu under which it would be. Perhaps reserved to certain memberships only?

pricefinder doesn't have owner name for a property
rpdata professional have owner name for a property

Depends on the state I guess - PF has owner names in QLD for instance.

For QLD it is:

https://www.police.qld.gov.au/forms/CrimeStatsDesktop.asp

(which is a crime in itself as it requires "silverlight" to be installed - sorry the geek in me)

This is good also https://crimemap.info/. It even has street numbers so you dont have to guess them like on the police site which hides them to protect the not so innocent. Warning - you might get a surprise to find out how much is going on around you

I find Streetview is a good source for burnout locations, lounges on the front verandah, unregisterd cars in the front yard and indicators of all places pleasant to live Take into account some photos might be 2 years old. A current sales sign out the front is a good indicator of how recent the photos is.
